Chapter 7 (BB's Lost Poem.)
In a shocking turn of events Beastboy decides to actually clean out his closet! He carefully moves the annoying Monkey with the symbols, to the Goodwill box. Among the piles of Junk he finds a piece of paper, he recognizes it immediately. A poem he wrote when Terra… When Terra, sacrificed herself. He doesn't like to think of her as dead. He reads the poem, but realizes he no longer feels the same. He has finally moved on. Here is what the poem says:
My heart encased in stone,
Leaving me here all alone.
My heart is faraway,
And that's where it will stay.
Why did this happen? Why is life so cruel?
She still has my heart, though to her I was a tool.
What am I saying, I know I meant more,
But without my heart, I have no core.
I still change, and I still fight,
But there is no one to make things right.
My heart ripped from my chest,
My heart's been put to rest.
No one could understand,
An impact so grand.
No jokes left, I'm no longer funny,
I'm all alone, with no one to call honey.
He nearly crumples it into a ball and throws in into the trash, but he stops himself. At one point this girl had meant something to him. Throwing away this paper, would be like throwing away his memory. He hangs it next to his other poem as a constant reminder, of what has changed.
A/N: So was this poem acceptable, or so awful that you want to throw ME in the trash, right along with this poem?
